[Ron Rhodes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great stories. Really enjoyed it.

[C.D. Storiz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Personally, I love anthologies. Not only do you get several interesting stories in one book but you also get introduced to new authors. This book features 11 authors with several short stories and novelettes about dystopian societies. They all have different angles and different views and each stood out on its own. Many left me thinking about them for days.

End of the worlds, done right.

Despite the current pandemic, or maybe because of it, I really enjoyed these tales featuring various forms of apocalypse, and after. All of them had moments or images that stuck with me long after I finished reading, though I definitely had my favorites. I especially loved The Shattered Sea and Alert.
